PRESIDENT CLEVELAND wants and ex-
poets a denomination, not because his
party heartily endorse his administra-
ton, for they do not, but because of the
more potential reason of the lack of
presidential timber. The Democratic
party hasn't great deal of material to
select from, and no one knows it better
than Mr.. Cleveland. Circumstances on
this account are decidedly in his favor,
and he realizes the fact, and of course
will turn it to the best advantage. Hav-
ing completely gobbled up his party,
and secured beyond peradventure his
denomination, there is no earthly rea-
son why he should undertake now to
pose as a political martyr, as in the re-
cent six-column interview. The party
has done a great deal for Cleveland and
it will be compelled to do more. A
shepherd is the greatest need of the
Democratic flock, and no one is more
available than Cleveland, and while he
has patronage to bestow, and has finally
cast out the Mugwumps, he will have
no difficulty in securing all the party
can bestow. "The sheep hear his voice
and follow him, but stranger they will
not follow"

ONE of the most interesting parts of
the centennial exercises at Philadelphia
was the reading of the following letter
received by the commission from Hon.
James G. Blame, dated Hamburg,
Germany, Sept. 2:
1t is with sincere regret that l find
myself unable to accept your invitation
to be present at the celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the promulga-
ton of the constitution of the United
States, Sept. II, 1887. Next to the
Declaration of Independence, the or
daining of the constitution is the great
event to be celebrated for all time by
the American people. As years roll by
and the nation grows in numbers, In
power, in prestige, our admiration and
appreciation of the men who framed
our organic law are steadily strengthen
ed. 1t was assuredly work of genius
to construct for thirteen feeble states,
with an aggregate of three and hall
million people, constitution which one
hundred years later is found perfectly
adapted to the needs and wishes of a
powerful nationLexpanded four fold in
| its territorial area, with thirty-eight
states, and more than sixty millions oi
people. Perhaps in no country and al
no period of the worlds history has the
conception of free goveFnment-firmly
secured by the checks and balances of a
permanent and conservative constitution
been more profoundly studied and
lcomprehended than by our forefathers,
They effectually organized revolution

king and against the arrogant wrong o.
an English parliament. After victory in

MONTANA not only exhausted the sur
plus in her treasury by the law offering
a bounty for prairie dogs and ground
squirrels, but the special session of the
legislature was required to make up a re-
spectacle deficiency. An Eastern paper
sees in this grand opportunity of dis
posing of the question of what shall be
done with the surplus in the National
treasury. It suggests that bounty OF
four cents each be offered for the scalps
of English sparrows, payable at any post
Office. There is no doubt that such a
plan would soon wipe out the surplus
which is so bothering the statesmen, and
there would still be plenty of sparrows
left to guard against any accumulation
that might occur in the future. Presi-
dent Cleveland would also be relieved OF
the necessity of spending so much time
on his message. and could start West
sooner and stay longer.

Died by the Roadside.

PARAMOUNT, Minn., Sept. 49, -Yester-
day afternoon Miss Betsy Tweed, the
daughter of Lewis Tweed, a well-to-do
farmer living about a mile north of
Fairmount, died very suddenly. She
had been complaining of sore throat
and.she and her sister started for the
village to consult physician about it.
They had gone but ashort distance when
she said to her sister that her throat was
paining her quite badly and that she
would have to stop and rest minute.
She sat down by tree at the roadside.
Her sister noticed that she was turning
purple in the face and went to her, but
she was unable to speak or recognize
her sister and within minute after she
sat down and died without saying q
word. 1t is impossible at this writing
to give the cause of her death, as the
coroner and all of the physicians of Fair
mont are attending the State FAIR at st.
Paul and an examination cannot be
had.

JOHANN MosT, the red-handed, foul
mouthed Anarchist, is of course wild
over the decision which condemns his
fellow conspirators to death. He frothed
at the mouth as he uttered the following
harrangue:
At the Haymarket affair innocent
workingmen we're fired upon because
somebody who is still unknown had
fired bomb. The blood of the work
ingmen shot down by the hireling po-
lice cried to heaven. A mockery of q
trial had condemned seven of the most
respected members of the cause. The
jurymen were slaves of capital, the evi-
denee perjured and the lives ofthe r'ar-
tyrs sworn away.
The ranting crank was addressing
meeting of the red-flag devotees in New
York City. A chorus of "No, Wen save
them yet" greeted the question, wheth-
er those present would submit to the
death of their brothers. Such speeches
as Life for life," and "It would be
bullets, not words" were shouted forth
from the audience. Violent speeches
by other prominent Anarchists followed
Most and kept the crowd at fever heat.
It seems that New York has still to deal
with these fellows in summary manner

country is not the place for their doc

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The centennial
celebration at Philadelphia is attracting
universal attention here in England. and
with the exception of few habitual
grumblers,. who sneer at everything un-
English, favorable comment is heard on
every side, The daily papers are de-
voting considerable space to the sub
Ject, both in their news columns and ed

in progress across the Atlantic for over
century is the most conclusive that
has ever been presented in the history

nations of the first rank, the humblest

universal humanity is being celebrated. -
Words like these exhibit the spirit
shown towords America, in her tri-
umphant celebration, by the English
press in general, especially the less con-
servative papers. During the last dozen
years the tone of British comment OF
things American has considerably
changed, and now, in place of the old
time ridicule and peevish, not to say in
solent, criticism that was formerly met

Union were sound in every particular
ana the case presented is a very strong
one viewed from an impartial stand

SPEAKER CARLISLE is awaklng to the
fact that he has a contested election on
his hands. The labor candidate, Thobe,
claims to have been elected by several
hundred majority, and has filed with
the clerk of the House of Representa-
tives a voluminous mass of evidence in
support of his claim that Mr.. Carlisle
and his party associates cannot we'll ig-
more. We're the contest purely between
Republican and and Democrat, Mr..
Carlisle might treat the claim with silent
contempt, and it would not be the first
time that Democratic Committee on
Elections rode rough shod over
everything. 1t happens now to be la
boring man, representing a factor in
coming events that must be treated with
proper decency, and this is why Mr..
Carlisle and his friends begin to feel a
little nervous. Thobe has been at work
strictly to the letter of the law, and his
evidence is said to be extremely dam
aging. Carlisle has procrastinated in
the hope of partisan vindicatIon and
filed no evidence, and now realizing his
bad predieament, is going to fall back
on technicalities and ask for an extern
sion of time to meet the case. 1t is a
clear-cut case between labor and aris-
tocracy, and up to this time labor has
decidedly the advantage, 0fcourse the
Republicans, always actuated by high
sense of honor and manly dealing, are
determined that Thobe shall have fair
play and an even chance, and If duly
elected to represent the Sixth Congres-
sional district of Kentucky shall lake
his seat, or the country know the reason
why. It is an opportune time TO settle
